On the other hand, we are told that in 304 B.C. Cn. Flavius erected a
small bronze shrine (aedicula) to CONCORDIA (q.v.) on the Graecostasis quae
tunc supra Comitium erat (Plin. NH xxxiii. 19), and this 'aedes ' is also
spoken of as 'in area Volcani ' (Liv. ix. 46)-a statement that may mean
that the Graecostasis had been moved or had ceased to exist at all in
Pliny's day. About 30 B.C. sacrifices were offered to Luna 'in Graecostasi' (Fast. Pinc., CIL i². p. 219), and for the years 137, 130, 124 B.C., it is
recorded that it rained blood or milk on the Graecostasis (Obseq. de prod.
24, 28, 31). The Graecostasis was therefore an open platform between

when open it might indicate that Rome was at war, and when closed
that she was at peace. This became the accepted signification of the
temple, and after the reign of Numa its doors were closed in 235 after
the first Punic war (Varro, Liv. locc. citt.), in 30 B.C. after the battle of
Actium (Liv. loc. cit.; Hor. Carm. iv. 15.9), and twice besides by Augustus
(Mon.Anc.ii. 42-46; Suet. Aug. 22; cf. Cohen, Aug. 385 = BM. Aug. 126); Mr. H. Mattingly informs me that Cohen,.Aug. 110, is best disregarded, as being
probably false.
